The study shows that the difference between the potential and actual net economic benefits from marine fisheries is in the order of $50 billion per year. Improved governance of marine fisheries could capture a substantial part of this $50 billion annual economic loss. Reform of the fisheries sector could generate considerable additional economic growth and alternative livelihoods, both in the marine economy and other sectors. The comprehensive reforms required imply political, social, and economic costs. Fisheries reform is a long-term process and requires political will founded on a consensus vision built through broad stakeholder dialogue. Reforms mean reduction in fishing effort and fishing capacity. Reforms will incur social and economic costs, so successful reforms will provide for social safety nets and alternative economic opportunities for affected fishers. Successful reforms will require strengthening of marine tenure systems, equitable sharing of benefits from fisheries. Reforms will require investment in good governance, including measures to reducing illegal fishing and pernicious subsidies.
